Adding on to BrunetteBeauti's answer:
Try to join diverse clubs, and volunteer organizations look AWESOME on your transcript. We have a Zonta club at my school (for girls) and we do things throughout the community, like serve food at a homeless shelter, play bingo with old people at retirement homes, etc. If your school has one, it would be great to join it, and if your school doesn't, it would be even better if you could get a sponsor and start one.

As far as being diverse, you need to have good grades of course, but if you can also play sports, play a musical instrument, join a foreign language club, start your own club, win awards, become valedictorian, etc. then that will make you stand out way more. It's not just about SAT scores, though if you kick butt on the SAT it will look great too. I know of valedictorians that did not get into Harvard, Yale, or Stanford because they had the grades but not the extracurriculars. So extracurriculars are very, very important!

It's good that you're thinking about college already, and I wish you the best of luck!
